Default Re: Dansette Bermuda Question

Is the player and deck on a level surface?
If the cartridge has 4 pins and only 2 were connected then the person who allegedly refurbished this player has not done it correctly.
If the cartridge only has 2 pins then only the 2 wires are connected but if it has 4 pins then all 4 wires MUST be connected and alterations to the wiring under the deck made in order to join both the left and right music channels into a mono signal.
It the moment it would only be playing half the music on the record grove.

The person who sold this should refund you if you contact them.
Failing that if bought via ebay then I suggest you make a claim immediately as you only have a limited time to claim for faulty goods.
If not bought via ebay and you used paypal then you should be able to claim via paypal.

There are too many persons out there who are not technically experienced in this task.
They need to be caught out and stopped.

Good luck
Mike
